Despite a long spell at the top level the veteran keeper, 40, has failed to win a domestic cup medal and has vowed that nothing will deny him for Motherwell against the winners of tonight's second semi-final.

He said: "We couldn't care less whether it's Rangers or Dundee United, you could play the two teams together against us. We are just going to go and enjoy the day.

"This will be the third time I've been in a CIS Cup Final and I've been in a Scottish Cup Final as well and I've still got no winner's medal.

"The last time was with Kilmarnock against Celtic a few years back and I am just determined to try and get my hands on the trophy.

"I know at my age there won't be too many finals ahead and I will treat the CIS Cup Final as I do the league games and just enjoy it."

Marsh was in outstanding form in last night's draining victory over John Robertson's Hearts with a string of superb stops in the second half.

However, he took time out today to praise Well's baby-faced assassin, Marc Fitzpatrick, for the way he kept a cool head to clinch the winner.

The Well No.1 said: "We don't have a big squad so the young kids sometimes get thrown in and they pull their weight. I was delighted for young Marc Fitzpatrick to get the winner, but all the boys mucked in.

"I think the celebrations afterwards showed just how much it meant to the lads and the manager.

"Now we have a day that the whole club can look forward to and that's just great."
